We are printing quite a few sticker orders these days and I'm looking for better ways to package them. We usually shrink wrap them in manageable stacks but for certain sizes and quantities we need something else to contain the stack before the shrink wrap. When we used to outsource, the stickers...

We've had our UCJV for almost 2 years now, running mostly print and cut stickers. For the first year and a half, we had almost no issues. Once we had the machine figured out, we could run jobs all day long with confidence. In December, one day we were suddenly not able to cut through our regular...

I have looked into this to a degree and Francis told me that they recommend flushing the system. I never ended up pulling the trigger so that's about all I can tell you. If you try them, let us know how your experience is!

We only print stickers but we use Polar Choice 3 and love it. Haven't tried a ton of other brands but of the ones we have used, Polar Choice was head and shoulders above.

Hey Folks. I'm having a ton of trouble with material tracking off to one side on my UCJV300. It tracks fine with a wider, heavier material but I'm printing a lot of rolls that are lighter and more narrow so I can only use two pinch rollers. I would like to be able to hit print and walk away but...

I believe UV DTF inks are formulated differently from standard UV inks. I believe they cure a little bit harder. Does anyone have any thoughts on how actual UV DTF inks would run through this printer?

We've got the UCJV300 and it's a pretty great machine. The few downsides are how slow it is. In my opinion, it's how slow all the functions are in between printing that drive me nuts. The clear printing is great. You can print it in the same pass, you just have to know what settings to use. If...

Thanks, but the logical seek just makes the print head only travel as far as it's printing rather than travelling the whole width of the bed on every stroke. It doesn't affect the feed in any way.

I've been printing some large images on my UCJV300 where there are large spans with no ink being laid down but the machine only advances the media as fast as it would if it were laying down ink. I'm printing in 600x1200 or 1200x1200 so this is pretty slow considering that it could just quickly...

Yes, this is Graphic Parts International.

Very helpful, thanks. Have you, by chance, tried the LH-100 inks from Mimaki or is your UCJV still on warranty? I ask because it's a rigid ink as well. Like you said, who knows if the gloss goes up as the stretch goes down, but I'm just trying to eliminate as many variables as I can. Does the...

Good to know! Just to clarify, are you running these rigid inks on your Mimaki or do you only print this type of thing on your Roland?

It's a method typically used for printing skateboards. The image is printed onto PET film, and adhesive is printed onto the back, and it's then heat transferred onto the board with a specialty heat transfer machine. Traditionally, most of the images were screen printed, but now there are a lot...

No it wouldn't be the film because if we only screen print onto it, we get a nice glossy print. If we UV print, the gloss is not as nice. And no, we are not looking to do DTF UV. This is a different process.

Quite certain. If not the same unit, definitely another UV printer. Yes, we have clear ink channels.

No, they are extremely glossy right from the peel of the PET.

Our shop has a UCJV300 and we are trying to master a method of heat transfer onto wood. The image is printed onto a PET film, and then an adhesive layer is screen printed onto the back. The image can then be heat-transfered onto wood and the PET film peeled away. We have had great success with...
